Find Madeleine McCann On Facebook
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
SAY the McCanns: “We strongly support and encourage this new initiative to use Facebook to increase awareness of missing children.”
Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, you will know that children go missing.
Although not if you’re watching the TV news of reading the newspapers because Madeleine McCann is no longer in the mass media.
But the campaign has not been in vain. She is on a press release.
And the better news is that no children have gone missing in the past few weeks. We look through the mainstream press every day. It’s a fact. But what of life on the internet?
The statement goes on: “Using the power of social media in this way will undoubtedly capture the attention - and hopefully the help - of a younger population who are a hugely valuable and resourceful group.
“We would urge the millions of Facebook users around the world to keep looking and to do what they can to help bring these children home.”
Missing People has set up a widget for Facebook users to download, which will mean information on current appeals will be displayed on their homepage.
Says missing People Chief Executive Paul Tuohy: “If every Facebook user downloaded our BT-powered application, millions of people internationally could see an appeal that could help us to reunite a family.”
Because BT cares…

Reconstruction in Praia da Luz scheduled for Thursday, 26 May 2008
Reconstruction in Praia da Luz scheduled for Thursday Diario de Noticias

Only three days but neither of the couple’s defence team knows if there will be a reconstruction
The Judiciary Police (PJ) are dependant on witnesses coming to Portugal for the reconstruction of the night of the disappearance of Madeleine McCann to be done.
The proceeding, announced by PJ a few weeks ago, is already scheduled for this Thursday, according to what the DN found. But, apparently, it might not happen.
This is because the witnesses, the friends of the McCann couple that dined in the Tapas Bar on May 3, 2007, in Praia da Luz, may not be willing to travel to Portugal, as a year has passed over the events, according the spokesman of the McCann couple, Clarence Mitchell two days ago.
On the part of McCanns, the couple are already prepared to submit to the Portuguese authorities to carry out the proceedings, which, however, they admit to be “useless” as the lawyer of the couple McCann, Rogerio Alves, told DN.
“Basically, it is not up to Gerry or Kate because they are defendants. If their presence is required, they will have to go,” assured the couple’s spokesman, Clarence Mitchell, a few days ago to the Lusa agency. “Everything depends on the friends, who were notified to be present but as they are not defendants they have the right to question the usefulness of the exercise and whether it will help to find Madeleine - and the answer now seems to be no,” he said.
The lawyer Rogerio Alves said that the Portuguese defence of the McCanns, which the former president of the Bar shares with Carlos Pinto de Abreu, “ignores the evolution of notification made to the witnesses.” This means that three days before the scheduled proceedings, the defence team of the couple do not know whether they will take place. “Given that there can be no reconstruction of the night without the witnesses, if they do not come, it will not proceed,” the lawyer concluded
Go,go,go ….and help the PJ
Good moaning

Tis strange that a “new” poster would have a database of “other” poster’s
old, and very old, posts.

I repeat the point I made last night.
If you quote someone else’s words, we expect you to include the source of that quote so that other users can determine the veracity of that quote.
If you find that other posters on Anorak (e.g., SpongeBob and Sledgehammer) have - in the past - posted comments that you find useful in supporting a point you want to make, you are welcome to quote their words. However, it is common courtesy is it not to credit the original author of that post?
It also assists others reading your posts to determine how much weight to give the source you are quoting. Some, for instance, may attach more credence to quotes from a published news source over the opinions of another member of a Forum?

Why do you think that person who refers to the gum bumper is referred
to by the gum bumper as old bag of bones ?
As you too fit the bill….hi…old bag of bones.
